Bring your kids along to River Cottage, so they can learn how to 'grab and cook' their own lunch. This one day course, based around the River Cottage vegetable garden, is aimed at teaching kids where good food comes from, whilst making sure they have fun at the same time.

The morning will kick off with a 3 hour, kids only garden and cookery session, where we will split the children into groups with one teacher and assistant per group. The session is split in to three parts including pizza making, a grab & nibble session in the garden, and a nature and farm trail.

The day is designed to give the kids a really fun and interactive learning experience encouraging them to try new foods and teaching them about life on a farm.

The children will then sit down to a party picnic which they have prepared themselves, and the parents are then invited to re-join their kids at River Cottage HQ for an afternoon cream tea of Devon’s finest.

Printed recipes from the day's activities will be included - with a bit of luck the kids will give you some much needed help in the kitchen back at home. If you haven’t got the family cookbook and would like it, we can offer you this on the day for a 50% discount

We feel that 6 - 12 years of age is about right for this course, but we are happy to leave it to your discretion.

Please note - Hugh will not be at this event

We ask parents not to stay for the kids-only session, as this gives children the chance to really learn with each other.
